Monica Lee Scherer

Monica's tough but kind...and brilliant. This is the best combination, especially when opposing counsel is inflammatory and immature (as my ex-husband's attorneys were). Monica did an excellent job representing me and the outcome in my case was much better than even the best case scenario I had hoped... for; I got a generous settlement but more importantly, custody of my child (in a split custody jurisdiction). Throughout the storm of a highly contentious litigated case, Monica kept me calm so I could focus on what mattered most: my child. Her fee's high but was a small price to pay for the results...and for my freedom.

Monica and a colleague of hers worked with me on a very complicated and contentious case related to my divorce and succeeded in helping me get the financial settlement I deserved. She was tough, knowledgeable, compassionate, and responsive to my calls and emails. I could tell from the first phone cal...l that she would go to bat for me. I would recommend her to anyone going through a difficult divorce.

When I started the journey of divorce after escaping an abusive marriage I had an attorney that didn't understand me and support me the way I needed. About a year into my divorce I was talking to a friend about how I wanted to find a strong, solid attorney to be able to fight for my sons and I that w...ould have our best interest at heart, as well as, someone who understood our trauma and what we had been through since my old attorney didn't seem to and triggered me a lot. My friend high recommended Monica and her firm and spoke very highly of her. This was reassuring to have such a strong referral after struggling with my past attorney so much. The first phone call I had with Monica I knew she was the one to help my sons and I through this complex divorce. She was so knowledgeable, truthful, and had such compassion that I immediately hired her and it was all uphill from there. It was a pleasure working with Monica and I am so relieved it all worked out with her strong council!

I have worked with Monica now for almost a year on my miserably difficult and combative divorce case. She was easily accessible by phone or email the entire time, patient and compassionate with my angst, completely on top of things (dates, orders) and found every opportunity to move my case forward. ...She was strategic and ahead of the game the entire process. Straight forward and honest, she provided realistic expectations. She totally rocked my hearing and coached me throughout negotiations to not back down (my m.o.) Her team was on the ball, helpful, supportive and competent. If you want a no nonsense attorney who knows her stuff, is highly experienced, smart as a whip, and has great people skills (and I'm a psychologist saying this)- well you can't do better than Monica!
